Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3.4 oz pistachio instant pudding mix
  • 1 package sugar cookie mix


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking your cookie bars evenly.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, eggs, and pistachio pudding mix. Use an electric mixer to blend them together until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Add Cookie Mix: Add the sugar cookie mix to the pudding mixture. Continue mixing until a sticky dough forms, ensuring all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  4. Prepare Baking Sheet: Grease a 10 x 15-inch baking sheet to prevent sticking. Spread the dough evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, smoothing it out for uniform thickness.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the top just starts to brown, indicating it is done.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the cookie bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into 12 bars and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing and a better texture.
  • Use a greased baking sheet or line it with parchment paper to avoid sticking.
  • Do not overbake to keep the bars soft and chewy.
  • These bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For an extra touch, sprinkle chopped pistachios on top before baking.
